A typical kit includes a whole turkey, 2 to 3 sides, a dessert, and reheating instructions. Clearly promote package contents, serving sizes, prices, and pickup deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>2. Promote Reservations and Pre-Orders Early<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPromote reservations and pre-orders early, ideally beginning 4 to 6 weeks before Thanksgiving. Use email campaigns, social media posts, and a prominent pre-order banner on your website or online ordering page. Share menu details, order deadlines, pickup windows, and reservation availability so customers can plan and your team can estimate demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
